Can't forward e-mail in wireless Outlook setup.

I have set up a wireless network. All is fine except on wireless laptop when
trying to forward some of the e-mails with attachments a box appears with the
message "requesting data from Microsoft Exchange Server" and the e-mail can't
be forwarded. How can I correct this issue?

Do you have an Exchange server? Is this a home network? If you don't have
an Exchange server, remove the Exchange account from the laptop's mail
profile.

This is a home network. The laptop on which the problem exists works just
fine when hooked directly to the wall connection or the router. Any help?

The laptop is used for my wife's corporate business. She accesses the
internet through a VPN. I don't know if this is relavent or not. If I
remove the microsoft exchange server and it doesn't solve the problem, how do
I add it back? I don't want to screw up her business communications.

Thanks, Brian

So, there is an Exchange account in the profile. Heaven forbid you mess
with it. Instead, put the POP account in a separate mail profile and open
Outlook in that profile. This will keep it distinct from the corporate
message store.
